Amigurumi Crochet Baby Penguin Free Pattern:
Head (using color A)
R1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sts) (you can use the magic ring if you prefer, as it won’t make a difference in the end. In that case, you will make a magic ring and make 6 sc in the magic ring. Watch this video to see how to start crocheting in the round using the “ch 2 method”.)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: *sc 4, inc* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7: *sc 5, inc* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R8-15: sc in all 42 sts (8 rounds total at 42 sts each)
R16: *sc 5, dec* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R17: *sc 4, dec* rep 6 times (30 sts)
Switch to color B. Watch this video here to learn how to make the clean edge color change used on R18a and R18.
R18a: in the BLO (back loops only) very loosely slip stitch in all 30 sts (30 sts)
R18: in the BLO (back loops only) *sc 3, dec* rep 6 times (24 sts) (This is the last round we will crochet in the BLO. See pic. #1).
This is a special way of changing colors so that there is a neat, clean edge all around. The slip stitch round (R18a) is not adding any height to the round and is just the foundation for the next round (R18) so we get the clean edge from the bottom loops of the slip stitches. If you wish to do a traditional color change, then disregard R18a.
Adding the Eyes
Insert your safety eyes between R14 & 15, 9 sts apart. (Hint: insert the 1st eye. Count 9 sts from the hole where you inserted the 1st eye and insert the 2nd eye. There should be 7 visible stitches between the
eyes.)
Start to stuff the head firmly continuing to stuff as you work.
R19: *sc 2, dec* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R20: *sc 1, dec* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R21: *dec* rep 6 times (6 sts)
Finish off. Finish stuffing the head firmly, and use the tail to sew up the hole neatly.
Top/Hood (using color B)
R1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sts)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: *sc 4, inc* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7: *sc 5, inc* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R8-16: sc in all 42 sts (9 rounds total at 42 sts each)
R17: dc 9, hdc 1, sc 1, sl st 6, sc 1, hdc 1, dc 1, make 2 trc in the next sc, ch 2, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, make 2 more trc in the the same sc as the last 2 trc, dc 1, hdc 1, sc 1, sl st 6, sc 1, hdc 1, dc 10 (44 sts).
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Position the hood over the head so that the bottom back of the hood is sewn to R18 of the head (R18 of the head is the color change round). This way, the white on the head doesn’t show through. Don’t position it any further down than R18 of the head. The front bottom tip of the hood should come down just slightly below the bottom of the eyes. Pin the hood into place using straight pins, then sew it to the head using the long tail we left and your tapestry needle.
Beak (using color B)
R1: ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook (4 sts)
R2: *sc 1, inc* rep 2 times (6 sts)
R3: sc in all 6 sts (6 sts)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. No need to stuff. Position the beak between the eyes over the tip of the hood and pin it into place (see pic. #4). Sew the beak to the face using the “seamless join method” for a cleaner look.
Body (using color C)
R1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sts)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6-13: sc in all 30 sts (8 rounds total at 30 sts each)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff firmly and position the body to the bottom of the head over R18 of the head. Make sure that you leave the front loops from R18a of the head showing above the body as we want that color change peeking over the body (see pic. #6). Sew the body to the head using the “seamless join method” for a cleaner look.
Wings (make 2 using color C)
Ch 6, starting in the 3rd ch from the hook, hdc 3, make 2 hdc in the last ch, turn your piece 180 degrees and in the front loops of the ch, hdc 4 (9 sts)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. We will sew the flat edge of the wings to either side of the body. Sew each wing to the sides of the body to the last round of the body. When you are finished, make a knot to secure the sewing and weave all ends into the body to hide them.
Feet (make 2 using color B)
R1: ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook (4 sts)
R2: *sc 1, inc* rep 2 times (6 sts)
R3: *sc 2, inc* rep 2 times (8 sts)
Do NOT finish off. Do not stuff. Pinch the foot together so that there are 4 sts on one side and 4 sts on the other side. Now, slip stitch the opening closed with your crochet hook going through both front and back single crochet stitches.
Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Weave the long tail we left to the back top corner of the foot. Position the feet over R6 of the body, spaced 4-5 stitches apart from each other. Sew the feet to the body. When you are finished, make a knot to secure the sewing and weave all ends into the body.
Congratulations !!!
